Something unholy

The man stopped quickly
He stared at the severed hand
Resting on the log

Watched the original “Halloween” last night and this morning I am watching “Friday the 13th: Part VI: Jason Lives” in order to get psyched up for Halloween. So, I thought I would write a Haiku to go along with the movies and the holiday (my favorite one). Always loved this Alice Cooper song that is in Jason Lives. Thought it might get you in the Halloween mood.

Haiku – Scary and Dense
White fog hanging low
Tendrils of ectoplasm
Draped over the land
+
In keeping with the spirit of Halloween. I thought I would post a song I always make sure to give at least one spin to in October. Enjoy.
Haiku – The “Too Hot” Run
Warm October Day
Crunching on the late fall leaves
Halloween is close
+
I was listening to music while I ran today, and King Diamond kept coming on. I thought I would post a song from them to set the Halloween mood. Listen, and enjoy – with the lights on of course.
Haiku – Disembodied
In an empty house
Booming dark voice calls to me
An echoing sound
+
My 2-year-old son inspired this one. For some reason echos shake him up. He will come out of a room and say something like “echo hear,” and of course the writer in me sparks up. How can I turn this into something scary? This Haiku came to mind. Happy early Halloween!
One of my favorite scary movies! I thought I would post another scene from “The Changeling.”

Halloween Haiku
I don’t know where some of these Haiku got off to. I had them posted on this site, but for some reason they are not here anymore. So, I thought I would re-post them for my new audience. I hope you enjoy these scary Haiku based on some of my favorite horror movies.

Dying in your dreams
Freddy Krueger kills at ease
Do not fall asleep
The Evil Dead
Necronomicon
Book of the dead, bound in flesh
Demon in the woods
Haiku – Free Spirit
A creepy seance
Releasing the energy
Hidden ghosts revealed

I wrote this Haiku last year around this time, and I thought I would share it with my new audience this year.
I would now like to open up this blog to you. Write a Haiku that screams Halloween, and drop the link into the box below.
As a sidebar note: This is my first attempt at doing this, so please let me know if you have any issues.
A special thanks to haikuhorizons.wordpress.com for inspiring me to try this.
